I was watching a series last night about traditional food and cooking. I was reminded of the special characteristic of foods that we prepare, the effects to those who eat them.
One ingredient has many elements.
If mixed with a certain thing it may bring out the best effect, but sometimes it may cause harm and cannot be mixed with certain ingredients. That is the special characteristic of food.
Just like for example, in order to remove the odor of the pork, clover flower bud is added, but if it is added to turmeric herbal soup, if will cause diarrhoea and vomiting.

This is what my cucumber has become. It is a hybrid. I planted several of them. It is a pleasure to watch them grow in the garden.
I was taking a shower when I accidentally hit the soap on my pimple. Ouch. It hurts. And it is aggravating when pimples flare up. I got to find an acne cure that will eradicate them from my face totally. Is there such product? I know some herbs can cure and clear acne, but the leaves are taking their time to come up and my pimple is a continuous bother. I see some reviews online and they have products there that are worth trying, of course after derma consultation. Some seemed to be effective to other people and maybe effective with my skin condition. When a product is best selling, it probably is, very effective for most people.
Hubby was not feeling well lately, so I make him drink a cup of ginger infusion. I remember my mom used to let us drink it when we were kids. In Philippines, powdered ginger is called “salabat”. Ginger is the most widely available and widely used herbal remedy in the planet, aside from being a good spice and food flavoring. Ginger has been traditionally used for 2500 years in Asian medicine to promote cleansing of the body through perspiration (helps to reduce body temperature during fever), improving blood circulation especially to the hands and feet (helps high blood pressure), to calm the nausea and vomiting (especially after surgery) and to stimulate the appetite. Ginger is an excellent remedy for many digestive complaints, such as indigestion, nausea, gas and colic, and even food poisoning; ginger is warming and soothing for respiratory problems such as cough, colds and flu, and sore throat. It was the first time I make hubby drink the powdered ginger and hot water and I was just observing him. Usually, he would scrutinize what I serve him, but he seemed to like it, and his nausea was relieved. Of course it is effective. Combining ginger with prescription medications to prevent blood clots is not advised. Ginger can prolong sleeping time, if your taking medication to induce sleep, use ginger with caution.

Autumn has officially begun and we can feel the nice cooling of the temperature outside. In several weeks there would be snow in some part of the country. I think it is a good time now to inspect our equipments and make sure everything works okay so that when they are needed, they are readily available. You may need to check the snowmobile parts to be sure they are still functional, for it not, you still have a lot of time for replacement which you can order from auto and equipment stores such as jazz motor sports. I am kind of ‘wow’ when I found out that shipping is just $5 on all orders! So wrench now, ride later.
I have a riddle: “In winter it is an insect; in summer it is a mushroom.”
Have you heard such a thing? Well, it’s not really a riddle for the thing indeed exist. They are called Dong Chong Xia Cao in Chinese or Cordyceps. It is usually cooked with Ba gua soup. It is kind of sad when we think of the insect, isn’t it? It is a caterpillar-like insect, in fact it is called ‘vegetable caterpillar’ after a fungi replaces the worm cells. Dong Chong means “in winter it is an insect; Xia Cao means “in summer it is a mushroom”. But this mushroom is not ordinary vegetable, as if it is not already. It is used for strengthening the immune system, promoting longevity and reducing the aging effects, as well as being good for the kidneys, liver, and even opium addiction. More of the herb’s usefulness here.
I have been thinking about a lot of things lately, just these past few weeks, to tone. I really want to resume my belly dance lessons, hopefully on one of these days, I hope soon. And aside from that, I have collected different yoga exercises from India. Do you also feel the same about getting or learning something? Because of my improper physical training and discipline, I almost broke a male classmate’s neck when I tried to kick him during our ‘fun time’. He was one of our high school teachers’ sons and I got scared in that moment for had he moved half an inch nearer or I kicked that much farther, we would surely be in trouble. So now I really want to have those physical exercises and training back in the right way, to improve my physique and for good body fitness and to burn excess body fat. I know that taking one lesson here and there would be a bit inconvenient, given our present circumstances here. So I was wondering if we can do it in an ‘easy’ way?
And I just found out, in the right time, about XFLOWSION and how it would give me three workouts in every one convenient session. Have you heard about it? Xflowsion is a state-of-the-art 3-in-1 exercise program that is designed such that we will burn fat and tone or muscles continuously, while we will have fun from combined shifting dance, yoga and martial arts moves. You see it is perfect for all of us who want to shape our bodies in the non-boring and in an efficient way because we get results in 1/3 the time we would have achieved through separate and expensive workout trainings. Maybe you will say that you have been working out and lose few pounds and that was all, your body can’t burn anymore fat keeping you from hitting your weight loss goal. That is called plateau blast, but with XFLOWSION™ by celebrity trainer Eric Paskel, you will sweat, form and shape, and stretch your body from head to toe to total transformation, just like some of the hottest bodies in Hollywood that he trained using this triple training workout program. This is the workout program I have been looking for; you can ‘xflowsion’ it too!

My friend wanted to come to our house for us to work-out together. Isn’t that more enjoyable than working out alone? Of course in the gym we will have other people, and it is great to develop friendship there because not only we will have profound relationships, but the teammate motivation will drive us to find personal strength at the same time, accomplishing our fitness workout goals together. I am thinking of buying a DVD exercise program to make our workouts more enjoyable and less boring. I have a video below showing the fun we would have, working out together. There are more fun ways to workout these days, and they’re getting better.
